Giving a card to new baby and mentioning decessed brother, What's your opinion?

My husbands Nephew and his girlfriend had a baby a little over a year
ago and he passed away at 3 weeks from complications from having
trisomy 13. They now just had a new little baby who seems to be
perfectly healthy.

My question is, would it be alright in mentioning their first son in a
card to their new son. I was thinking of saying something along the
lines of how lucky new baby is to have his own personal guardian angel
in heaven to watch out over him as he grows.

I guess I've heard before how people will often not acknowledge a baby
who has passed on and the parents feel like others don't remember him.
So I thought this might be another way to say that we still remember
their first son but I don't want to upset her either.

What do you guys think.
