By looking at Resemblances from a standpoint that they exist as opposed to why they exist, the power of Extractionism can be very useful.
In this particular case, a family from Missouri has found it to be a comforting sign that aids them in the passing of their patriarch - James Hosterman. Hosterman’s daughter Sharon Courtney- Hosterman was eating a snack a few days after the passing of her father when she noticed her chip had a cross in the center of it. For Sharon it was a sign that "he went to the light". For another family member it was James' way of getting the family to smile once again!
Pareidolia is a word often used when reporting on such stories. The word was first used by Goldstein in 1994 despite other vocabulary words existing such as apophenia synchronicity & simulacra and is limited in scope when discussing Resemblances.
