One wrote: "She'll always be by your side, supporting you and loving you more than anyone else.
"And yes, she was definitely there with you, smiling and making those funny faces."
Another said: "Your mother is watching you from above and is very, very proud of you."
A third put: "That's a very sweet dedication."
