I would say "no", but offer to assist her in any other way she might need - you admitted yourself that the two of you had grown apart - a bridesmaid is more than someone to stand up in a pretty dress, a loose acquaintance or a not-so-close relative isn't enough in my book and it's no big deal when a bridesmade backs out because an extra groomsman can easily become an usher or the bridesmaids and groomsmen can walk behind one another and not paired off so it's not big deal to have an extra of either.
