I found the NY Post and Washington Times with stories on it. It wasn't about his Saturday Clustertrump. It was about his forced reading.

"President Trump on Tuesday praised Heyer as “an incredible young woman” and noted that Bro had released a statement Monday thanking him for his remarks on the tragedy. After days of criticism of his initial response, which put blame “on many sides,” Trump on Monday explicitly condemned “the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/heather-heyers-grieving-mother-readies-herself-for-huge-public-farewell-to-my-child/2017/08/15/c5270e5e-81fa-11e7-ab27-1a21a8e006ab_story.html?utm_term=.faa8029dcb2c

The mother's name is "Susan Bro"

but the article continues with the following:

"Ahead of Heyer’s memorial, set to be held at the Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Bro, who said she has barely slept in days, was trying to keep things together and wasn’t prepare to comment on the president’s latest remarks.

It is not clear from the article if she appreciated what trump said after he rephrased his initial statement, where he explicitly blamed the KKK, Nazis, etc., or when he first came out. However, she hasn't commented on his latest verbosity where he blamed both sides
