cool! he wouldn't have pressed for more details beyond what she was comfortable sharing, but even if she only told him a bit about being newly widowed and trying to just take it day by day it'd be enough for him to remember her. he's a good listener and very observant, so if she remembers him it's probably as one of the first people who just sat with her and let her talk without trying to give trite advice back. it's not uncommon for people to float in and out of rooney's life, so he'll be glad to reconnect with her and see how she's doing.
