Contacting a friend after many years

Got a dilemma re contacting someone from my past. So I went to secondary private school with a fellow pupil and we were best friends, along with another girl in our class. Then something happened which meant the original fellow pupil had to leave the school. It was all a bit dramatic and we weren't really allowed to see each other again though we did bump into each other outside school sometimes. When the fellow pupil moved away I had her phone number somehow and rang her for a chat but she was a bit reticent to chat at the time.

Years have gone by but I believe I've found her somehow (don't think she's ever been on FB). I have an address for her.

Would you contact someone in these circumstances or is it best to leave things alone? She had a very unhappy childhood and was treated very badly by her mother. My other mutual friend, we've sort of lost touch, but she said the same, she always hoped the fellow pupil was ok and often thought about her, but had no way of getting in touch with her.

I’d definitely contact her

Yes, but keep it very very light if you can.

Thanks both of you. I will write to her, keep it light and if she wishes to contact me, great, if not, that's fine too.

Funnily enough she had a double-barrelled (through her DM's marriage I think?) surname but she uses one of those surnames now. I'd been looking for her with no success using her double-barrelled surname and only found an address for her from years ago and her stepdad's name.
