I think your email might provide closure. Hopefully she won't respond with a "I said, you said" clarification - it will just get defensive and I think you are both parting with some regrets and yet knowing that much of the work you did was good.
For what it's worth - our agency requires closing letters from our staff when we end services for any reason. It isn't just legal stuff, it provides a paper trail for billing and filing and a bunch of other things. Too many times the therapist is the only one who knew that there had been a client change, and admin really does need to know, unless she is a solo practictioner. And we do have a "standard" form letter that is individualized but contains some required information.
I hope you can put all this behind you soon. It reminds me that all relationship change over time and sometimes we change in ways that make ending or leaving the best option, even if there are regrets.
