Teresa's friend and fellow New Jersey 'Wife Jennifer Aydin recently called the mom of four: "the best mom," and Teresa's daughters doubled down on that sentiment with touching Mother's Day tributes. 

On the holiday, Teresa shared a photo of a sweet handmade card from her daughter Audriana Giudice. The message read: "Dear the most best mommy in the history of the world, Teresa Giudice ... Happy Mothers Day!!!"

The note continued: "Happy Mother's Day mommy! I love you sooo much! I am so grateful to have you in my life! I can never ask for a better mom! You mean the world to me and I love youuu! You are the best most loving, grateful and bravest mommy ever! In fact mommy, I can't even explain how I love you! I love you to the moon and back!" The 9-year-old also drew big, colorful hearts on the card.

Of course, Mother's Day also brought back memories of Teresa's own mother, Antonia Gorga, who passed away in 2017. Teresa wrote on Instagram, "Today I struggle as I don’t get to spend Mother’s Day with my wonderful mom, I miss her every single day & know she’s protecting me,my guardian angel. I wish I got just one more day. 
I’m so lucky to have learned from her & so grateful for my four gorgeous girls who I have the pleasure of hearing them call me ‘mommy.’"
