What is the proper protocol during graduation for a student who has passed away?

We have a student who, as a kindergartner, was hit by one of our school buses and killed.  2008 was her graduating date and we are honoring her during the ceremony.  We have an empty chair for her in the row and we are presenting the family with an honorary diploma.  Also, her picture will be part of our slide show before graduation begins.

What I am looking for is any protocal or procedures anyone has used for such presentations in the past.
