As a fellow Capricorn, Mike and I kept in touch on our respective birthdays - I miss that special touch that he always seemed to remember. Mike was the best cousin anyone could ask for and although we didn't see one another often, when we did we picked right up where we left off - just that kind of person, he was. He will always be close in my heart, on our birthdays and to all who loved him! Love to you Kelly and family! xoxo -Pamela

Happy Heavenly Birthday my love.

I can't believe where the time has flown. It's true time just flies. Theirs a reason for that, it's all part of God's plan. We will see you again. You are in an awesome place and in good hands!

OHHHH One more thing, I just looked at your birthday and I didn't know you were a January kid too!! OHHHH Great month..that's all

Hello my friend, are you watching all this CrAzYnEsS down here? I know you are because you had that way about you. I miss you in the parking lot of the "old" Albertsons now a PCC. Mac and I'd look as we were heading in and More Times than not YOU were always there and we'd smile and say hi!! You had that silent way about you...little did we know it was preparing us for this moment. Well, I guess we are never prepared for this moment but the universe lets us know as we look back. Thank you for this page so we can just talk to you at this time of year. You are GREATLY missed but I know you are there as always. Life is Good

15 long years ago today you took your last breath looking into my eyes. That look I will never forget. That look you gave me the day that we met. That look you gave me the day we were wed and that look I am longing to see again when we are together again. That look of pure love . I see it every day in my mind and it still makes my heart skip a beat.
We are one forever...

I love these tributes....Thank you for always posting this! Still hard to believe he isn't with us in body form. I know he is there and looking down at us...or, when I part in PCC (old Albertsons) I can still feel his presence! Thank you! 

Kelly,
Thank you for posting this and keeping Mike's memory where all who loved him can share. When he pops into my mind, somehow it helps to know there are others who miss him too. He was the best cousin ever. Love to you and your family -Pamela

Man alive time goes by quickly. Really it's been that long? It just goes to show ya, life is so short. Just like the song says.... But I know you are in the most awesome place and we all will be together someday. It is harder for the people down here. We miss our loved ones but the reality is.... You are the lucky one!

I always miss him in the parking lot. It is now PCC and not Albertsons but just the other day I felt his presence. He was cute, he would sit in his car just after grocery shopping and then stop Mac and me and say I was watching you and we'd laugh!!! We always seemed to run into him at Albertsons in the parking lot....and that happened LOTS!!! How you doing buddy....still watching us from the parking lot..felt you! Life is Good and can you believe the Weird, weird world now days....I know you are watching it all and I know you are just amazed by it all. Take care and let's keep meeting in the parking lot....

It was 14 years ago today that you left us to fly high with the angels.
I always look up and smile knowing we will be together forever again. I love you my Mike.

13 years ago today...you are my forever true love.

Mike, I can't believe it's been 13 years. It seems like yesterday. Knowing what I know now....you are in an awesome place. Soon we will all be together soon and singing in The Guy Upstairs choir. Time goes by so fast.

Well guy I envy you. Your are in an awesome place with a even better choir of all time. I will see you again sitting right next to you singing away like old times. Frank better be smiling and directing!

My memories of Mike: In our lives, we meet a few, just a few folks who, from the very first moment, you know this person is someone special. Mike was that guy, he was that kind of person. Personally, I think of him when certain things come up in my life. These are just that personal times, nothing really unusual. Some are hard to explain because they are things that deal with feelings.
When you get to know such a strong personality, like Mike, they are simply always with you, not always on your mind, but then something happens, you hear a certain song, someone says something in a certain way, or you hear someone scat in a song and then Mikes voice comes mind or his smile flashes across you mind. Mike had a strong and interesting personality that seemed to always make things feel good when he was with you. It's those kinds of feelings that you can't explain but they come to mind too often.
May God Bless you soul Mike, and may God bless us all.

I can't believe its been 12 years. I know you are loving it where you are. I don't worry about you. I am envious because you get the opportunity to sing in one heck of a choir! Reign it down on us! Love ya bro, Kelly is good!

January 24th would have been Mike's and my 15th Anniversary. He passed 11 years ago.

Happy Birthday Babe!

I LOVE YOU MIKE!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

In our lives, we meet hundreds of people, maybe even thousands...most all of them are a pleasure to get to know. Then, just once in awhile, we meet a person who has a strong and profound impact on our lives. It might be their looks or their personality or their talents...but mostly it's their character. Michael Ajer's strengths were deep in honesty, integrity and love. This was exemplified in they way he enjoyed life, cared for his friends and loved his family. We don't replace people with this attributes when they pass... thank God we were included in his circle and that we can remember....God rest his soul.

11 years ago today, I can't believe it has been that long. You are missed every day my forever love...

We're always thinking of you with loving, happy memories, Mikey!

I love you Mike, the day of your birth brought magic to my life.

Dearest Mike, 10 years ago today we lost you and our lives were forever changed. Thank you for choosing me to love the last years of your life...

14 years ago today, the happiest day of my life. Missing you Mike, more than ever.

MIKE, YOU ARE IN BETTER PLACE THAT FOR SURE. NO MORE PAIN JUST LOVE AND LAUGHTER! DON'T Worry your kids & wife are fine a lot of people love them here! I miss you brother, we shared a lot of stories and sat together in God's choir! Ric

I thank God for your birth, I was blessed to spend your last years of your life with me. You chose me. I chose you and you were the best days of my life.

Michael was a most talented musician, capable of singing in many styles. I will never forget his scatting at the Driftwood Theater with the Sno-King Community Chorale singing background. He surprised a lot of folks with his abilities to develop hip melodies with great jazz rhythms.
In a relatively short time, Mike and I became very good friends, (so many folks can say this same thing,) and we shared many of the same interests in music and in life. He was inspirational in many ways, I will always cherish his friendship.

Thanks for sharing, I still feel his presence in the parking lot (now PCC) where Mac and I would be shopping (then Albertsons) and there Mike would be just watching us. Then when ever we'd run into him, he'd say, "I saw you guys" and we'd laugh....he was always there and still is...Just felt him the other day.....forgot it was his anniversary coming up....Life is Good! Again, thanks for keeping his memory alive.....

9 years ago, an eternity for me..I miss you my one great love.

13 years ago today you made all of my dreams come true...

Happy Birthday, I'll be right behind you turning 61 my friend...I still look for you in the grocery store parking lot, who knows, maybe you are still there only it's not Albertsons anymore....It's PCC. I'll look for you, will you nod at me please? Funny how we remember and still look....must feel our energy. Life is Good and take care.....

Happy 61st Birthday sweetheart, I miss you...

Seems Like yesterday we were singing in Choir of The Sound, miss you buddy! The Angel's Choir is no doubt loving your great tenor voice! I know you are watching Kelly and your kids from up above and smiling.

Rest peacefully, Michael.

I lost you 8 years ago today. The pain is even deeper each day without you. You are my forever love

Hello Kim. I think we connected just weeks after Michael passed. I am working on genealogy, and I think I had tried to contact Michael, but regretfully, I missed him by two weeks. I enjoyed going through this memorial and his slideshow. We are distantly related. My maiden name was Ajer. My father was Robert Donald Ajer, Sr. His father was Norman Alfred Ajer, whose brother Was Edwin Carl Ajer. Their father was Andrew (Anders) John (Bjorge) Ajer, born in Norway, died in Boyceville, Wisconsin. Although time has passed since Michael's passing, I would like to send my condolences to you and your family. God bless you all.

Happy 60th birthday Mike. I miss you so very much. I will love you forever.

I Believe in Angels...love when you come for a visit.

7 years ago today you crossed over to the other side. I am more in love with you today than the day we first met and knew it would be a forever love...

Happy 11th anniversary my eternal love....

Ohhhhh Happy Birthday Michael!!! 59 and we are not that old!!! :-)

Happy 59th Birthday Mike, Mike....I love you!

I'm missing you my love on this Christmas morning....

Hey there big guy, I was just thinking about you last week. I was at QFC picking up a RX and you popped into my head. Seems the grocery store parking lot was where Mac and I "always" saw you. You'd be just standing there and we'd look up and there you were. LOL, were you stalking us? :-) Remembering you and those times. You were missed at our 40 year class reunion. Life is Good

My one and only love, 6 years ago tonight, I spent your last night on this earth loving you more than anyone can love another human being. God how I miss you.....

Mac and I would always run into Mike at Albertsons. It was usually in the parking lot. We'd be getting out of our car to go into the store, and we'd look up, and there Mike would be just smiling at us. We always said hi, exchanged a wave and he'd get in his car and we'd head into the store. I still look for him in the parking lot. With Alberstons gone, I still expect to see Mike there.

Happy 10th wedding anniversary my one great love...

Today you would have turned 58 years old.
I thank God that you were born so that I could know your love and so that I could love you forever.
