What you can do is make a huge effort to facilitate the girls hanging out (e.g. invite Larla over every Tues and Thurs and pick her up and drop off), if it's actually important to you that your daughter doesn't lose the friendship.
My third grader is still bummed that we don't see his second grade best friend any more. He only moved 1.5 miles away, I pass their house on my way to my younger kid's day care, they are just in a different school zone. We got them together last summer and they had fun in camps together, but the parents just stopped responding after school started. It's their right, they don't have to hang out,
...but I'm still salty that my kid misses one of the only other kids on his wavelength because they moved a mile and don't get to play without parental organizing.
Sorry mobile interface wouldn't let me scroll down to finish.
