Should Have Been My Friends First Mothers Day

Tomorrow it would have been my very close friends first Mothers Day, but sadly her and her partner suffered a mmc early on in the pregnancy. Her baby would've been around three months old by now and I've no doubt that shes probably thinking about tomorrow - my question is should I say something and acknowledge her in some way? Maybe just a little text message or something?
I really don't know what to say but I don't really want to just slip through the day without letting her know I'm thinking about her. Or alternatively would it be less painful if I didn't say anything at all?
If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it!

I personally (after having a miscarriage) feel totally disheartened when people don’t acknowledge that I should be a mother too.
Maybe just a little heart emoji in a text would be enough x

I received a text from my cousin (3 kids and 1 mc herself) saying 'Happy Mothers Day'. It made me feel a bit teary but I really appreciated it; I may not have ever held my own child in my arms but I do still consider myself a mum.

I think your friend would appreciate it.
