This one is from Bill Tieleman.
And it starts like this:
BC Mary was one of Canada’s most tireless, prolific, dedicated and dogged bloggers – with an absolute commitment to finding out the truth about the BC Legislature Raids – the Basi-Virk case – the BC Railgate story.
In fact, she named her blog The Legislature Raids.
And now my friend is gone.
Sadly BC Mary – Mary Mackie to those that knew her more – passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Saturday March 3 in Toronto General Hospital….
There is a whole bunch of great stuff in middle, much of it personal, including a description of how Bill and Mary never actually met in person, or even talked on the phone, and yet they had a long, warm relationship of ongoing give-and-take, regardless.
Then, Mr. T’s post ends like this:
…BC Mary – it was not just a pleasure to know you – it was truly an honour.
You were one of a kind – rest in peace, for a job well done.
You were one of a kind – rest in peace, for a job well done.
Amazing stuff, don’t you think?
All the goodwill that this one tenacious, fearless and compassionate elderly lady with nothing but a laptop and a penchant for reaching out has generated.

At this point, it’s probably worth letting you in on one of the things she told one of her longtime commenters, GWest, who was also her longtime friend and confidant, near the end:
“…I’d love to think that one day, when my screen goes quiet completely, the commenters will come out and fill the space with what THEY know …”
A bunch of us, including Koot-Koot, who has archived more than 15,000 previous comments at Mary’s place already, have a plan to help make sure that happens.
