As of yesterday he hadn't. That, and the fact that he felt compelled to make up a story about Heather's mother contacting him and saying nice things about him, speaks volumes.

The mother's name is "Susan Bro"
but the article continues with the following:
"Ahead of Heyers memorial, set to be held at the Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Bro, who said she has barely slept in days, was trying to keep things together and wasnt prepare to comment on the presidents latest remarks.
