Big Pussy was killed by Tony, Pauli and Silvio for being an FBI informer - however he had been a very close friend to all of them, and it is hinted in the series that they are all bothered by their involvement in their killing of a friend.
Pussy's appearance in the mirror is after Tony's mother's funeral, when clearly he would be thinking about the past and about death. Throughout The Sopranos the importance of dreams and daydreams is explored - indeed Tony's final acceptance that Pussy might be an informer comes after a dream that he has where he has a conversation with Pussy as a fish.
It is my interpretation of this appearance of Pussy, is that he is thinking / daydreaming about his old friend.
