Either #1 or #2. The past (#2) means that she is no longer there, so all he has is the memory of her.

Thanks!
So # 3 and # 4 are definitely wrong, right?
With these kinds of sentences, I sometimes gets confused between "to" and "for".
How about these two:
5. He realizes how she means a lot to him.
6. He realizes how she means a lot for him.
