I don't think they necessarily continue to feel the tactile feeling. It's more, they attribute emotionality to those individual tactile sensations that they feel in their every day lives. For instance, I'm deaf-blind, and I buy an apple. My memory, then, of that experience, is rooted in the sensory perception of the feeling of that apple. Therefore, what I recall, when attempting to remember this event, is that tactile sensation.

That's a good hypothesis, like a language of touch. I should probably check Google but sometimes it's fun to speculate on things like this instead of just find the answer instantly.
