The entire Piper family was in attendance, but sadly Grandma Aggie’s (Debbie Reynolds) presence was missing from the heartwarming event, having passed away in 2016.
“We wanted to do a special tribute to her and her role as Grandma Aggie and have a small monument set up there for her, so we’re going to do that this year during the lighting ceremony,” Brown said.
