The Mother's Note can be found inside a child's lunchbox next to a post at the northwest corner of Lansdale Avenue and Brite Street (near the bank) in Pearl Creek in Silent Hill: Downpour. This note is related to the Ribbons sidequest where the player must use the two different colored ribbons (yellow and red) which are tied around street lights in order to find the missing little girl.
