I see no reason not to stay connected with these people who have been a huge part of his life for a long time. I don't see any problem with reaching out on special occasions to say happy birthday or congratulations or whatever. Make sure you're genuine, and not doing it as a ploy to get back together.
HOWEVER, do NOT visit with her family while she's there, or attend family functions, like weddings or meals for the holidays.
