Just a birthday card will be ok.
I assume this lady with a tremendous amount of life experience can handle it pretty good.

You could make it a bit more low-key than a "cherioo auntie Agatha". Referring to common shared memories, her long and rich life, you respect and love for her.
And then, I might, like yourself, feel the need to add something more, perhaps along the lines of: "despite your recent loss / during these sad days / ..."
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"

You've already expressed your sympathies in the condolence card. I'd suggest a "calming" picture (flowers, a landscape scene etc) and a simple message along the lines of "Thinking of you as always, sending all my love". Less is more, as my wife always says (especially around my birthday... )
Alternatively there are "general purpose" cards you can buy with a load of checkboxes... tick the "condolence" and "birthday" boxes; maybe tick then partly rub out the "engagement" one for added giggles. Sometimes, just because you're old or going through tough times doesn't mean you've lost your sense of humour.

below is ChatGBT's suggestion .
Navigating this delicate situation requires a thoughtful and sensitive approach. While it's important to acknowledge the loss of her son, it's also essential to celebrate her 94th birthday in a respectful manner. Here's a suggestion for a birthday card message that strikes a balance:
---
Front of the card:
[Choose a cheerful, uplifting image or design for the front of the card, such as a bouquet of flowers or a beautiful sunset.]
Inside the card:
Dear [Lady's Name],
Wishing you a Happy 94th Birthday,
In the midst of life's bittersweet moments, we find the strength to celebrate the joy that each new day brings. Your 94 years of life have been filled with experiences, love, and countless memories, some of which we hold dear in our hearts.
As we celebrate this special day, we also remember your beloved son and the love you shared with him. While he may no longer be with us, the love and memories you both created will forever be a part of your journey. His spirit lives on in the love and strength you continue to show every day.
Today, let us cherish the moments of happiness and reflection. May this birthday be a reminder that life is a beautiful gift, and with each passing year, you inspire us all with your resilience, wisdom, and grace.
Wishing you a day filled with warmth, love, and the comfort of cherished memories.
With heartfelt thoughts and warmest wishes,
[Your Name]
---
This message recognizes her son's passing while also celebrating her long life and resilience. It offers comfort and support while acknowledging the importance of marking her birthday in a positive way.

jmaida...may I ask a small favor?
Please fix your subject line--it's "worldle", or "wordle", not world.
You keep slipping by my RSS feed's filters, and adding "world" as an additional filter seems like the wrong thing to do.
Thanks...?

I can fix, but no assurance it won't happen again. Easy typo to make. Recommend you filter as well.

"World" is just too much of a common word to include.
Mind you, this is not a life-or-death matter, but...y'know.

I hear of that Apple computer has some advantages over graphics design over Windows PC.
is this claim really true? I am debating if I should get a Mac Pro to play around with it.
Any experience or tips to share?

There was a time when this was true. However, this has become unnecessary for at least five years. I think ....

There was a time when that was true, back in the 80's and 90's, but that time has long since passed.

I agree. Not an advantage anymore.

That entirely depends on software when you think about it--nothing hardware related--doesn't it? There's no hardware on the Apple side that presents any sort of advantage, that doesn't have an equivalent (or better) on a PC.
As others have pointed out, Windows app have caught up.
