Quick messages for mom
Choose a note that sounds like you. Use the message about caring for 'all of us' if your mom has often looked after the family and you can offer care in return.
Heartfelt card messages
Use 'we' only if you are writing for others too. The note about worrying about everyone else fits if she has mentioned those concerns.
