Getting the table ready 
Look at that smile! We were making meatballs with a recipe in our heads (unfortunately we never wrote it down) and not on paper! 
Here is the Tomato sauce simmering on the stove ready for the browned meatballs. By the way, they turned out wonderfully tasty but we know now that some of the spices and a different type of Italian cheese were missing. Oh well, next time will be closer to the "real thing." 
The day was filled with laughter and tears - that was to be expected for such an occasion. We knew that Mom would have loved all of it.

Oh, how I can relate to the joy that your mom left behind. I don't know if I've mentioned it since you've been around my blog, but The Duchess is a round Italian Mama.
There is nothing any better.
I hope you all ate and laughed and remembered her in every way imaginable.
And I've been to Bella Rose Antiques blog. I'm sure I have. I didn't know that was your daughter.
What a wonderful thing to do in memory of your mom. I think the best recipes are those that never get written down.
A nice post, Mom...we must talk about my picture and ugly fridge on the internet! LOL.

Ssounds like you had a lovely day together. I love meatballs with spaghetti and your sauce looks just right for it to me!
