There's no lie there about how wonderful she is/was and you can sincerely wish almost anyone a nice day. Alternatively, you're not really obliged to do anything for Mother's Day. But maybe it feels too pointed or confrontational to let it go unmarked? Will the fallout from ignoring it be more trouble than you want to deal with? Good luck with it.

The card I ended up choosing wasn't blank but the message was a longer version of saying "have a happy mother's day". So in the end I didn't feel like a fraud and she still felt warm and fuzzy. I don't know if it feels any better though.
Mother's Day is just such a confusing time.
