A viewing will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral chapel. Burial will follow in Susquehanna Memorial Gardens. Aiden was born May 28, 2009, a perfect healthy baby boy, at York Hospital. He was a very happy little boy whose smile would light up any room and fill everyone's hearts with love and delight. Aiden enjoyed listening to and watching music channels and the Wiggles, and would often vocalize his cheerfulness to those surrounding him. In addition to his parents, Aiden is survived by grandparents, Julie DacheuxMyers, Michael Iberl, and Tammy Fogle; great-grandparents, Julia Fitz, John Dacheux I, and George and Sheryl Iberl; aunts and uncles, Tyler Iberl, Mikey Iberl, Dustin Matthews, Oli Olafsson, Melicent Matthews, and Kayla Myers; great-aunts and uncles, Steve and Lisa Albright and Pauline Knipple; great-greataunt, Faye Mussleman; cousins, Avianna Matthews, Jai Lea Caballero, and Moses Autry, Jr.; and many other aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by a great-grandfather, Donald Fitz. Although Aiden was only with us for a short time, he gave his family a world of memories to cherish. He was the love of his family's life and will always remain in their hearts as the tiny angel who brought them joy and happiness. Send Condolences at BestLifeTributes.com

To the family of Adien,
I am one of the family that doesnt' and hasn't stayed in touch for quite sometime, when I heard about Adien I felt compelled to write. I have been through this once in my life and I know nothing I can say will take the pain away, keep memories of Adien always in your heart and remember you will meet him again someday.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, though it wasnt quite a year,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Grandma "Jodie", Great Grand John Henry, Colby, Miranda, and the Myers family,

I was shocked to hear of the loss of that beautiful baby boy. He certainly must have a big job to do up in Heaven to have gone there so quickly. I pray that you all can heal from this loss.

With Love
