SS, I'm sorry for your loss
I lost my mother 4 years ago, when my children were too young to remember her. The other day my oldest told me that her grandmother had visited her. Taken aback I asked how, my oldest told me that when they were playing in the yard that there were many butterflies in the yard with them. It was simultaneously sweet and tinged with sadness for me.... I know my mother's spirit lives on because of similar seemingly random things
You found that chip today for a reason, IMO.
I'll pray for strength for you and your family.
