Your mother had a very nice pond - what a wonderful project you've set out on to try to restore it in her memory! You've already gotten plenty of great advice so I can't add much. It's hard to tell from the pics what the grade is of your yard, but it doesn't look too steep that you can't work with it. As mstella indicated, slopes offer some great opportunity for a more natural looking waterfall/stream. With that slope, you could have a really nice stream. Plantings along the stream would help prevent run-off. I built my pond on a slope. I had to build up at the bottom to make it appear level.
