I would say keep in touch because she is still your friend. But also give her some space - i.e., don't confront or pressure her to remain in contact with you. If your friendship is solid, it will remain solid. The extended time lapse will just give you more to talk about when you do connect again.
I have a very dear IRL friend I met online several years ago. We used to chat on a daily basis and sometimes talk for hours on the phone. Now, we only speak occasionally, maybe twice a year. The reason we don't speak is because her life is very full now. She's doing the things she wants and needs to do to keep herself alive and well. I miss the opportunity to be in her daily life, but I'm thrilled she's thriving in the real world.
I hope you'll be able to remain friends. If you do drift apart altogether, I hope you'll both carry fond memories of each other.
