No. "На" is necessary. You can omit "её", it's even better without "её".

"Матери" instead of "маме" is a bit rude here.

Большое спасибо.

"Мама" is the most used form, as it is soft and pleasant to hear. Mums are respected members of society! At least, in the past... :?
"Мать" is official or bookish, and sounds dry and harsh. Very well goes in obscenities.

Thanks for the extra note on use of мать / мама.
