itchy23 puts it well: your appeal letter doesn’t say anything about you. The majority of your appeal letter sounds more like an eulogy than a proper appeal letter.

What the appeal letter should contain is new and compelling information that had an impact on you when you applied. Your appeal letter does not contain this. Your line of thought seems to be this-- my recently deceased friend wants me to go to Cal, therefore I want to be admitted so I can fulfill her wish and live out the life she could have had. It doesn’t seem like a logical reason to appeal.
