Here's the note I just got from Fr. Jim's dear friend and fellow-priest ...
Quote:

It is with sadness of heart that I inform you that my loyal, devoted friend of 44 years, Father James G. Dull, is very close to death. He is resting comfortably at Rex Hospital, Raleith, NC, where he has been in a coma since Sunday, November 28, 2009, resulting from a rare bacterial infection which caused bacterial meningitis that spread swiftly to his brain and spinal cords. Father Jim has been given the best of care by the excellent staff at Rex, and everything which could have been done to cure his infection was done. Unfortunately, the brain was damaged to the extent that he is on the verge of brain death. Bishop Burbidge, Monsignor David Brockman (the Vicar General), and the entire medical staff will arrange that his passing is done in the presence of his family members (two brothers and one sister), the Bishop and Vicar General, and me. Please keep him--and us--in your prayers.


These are wonderful priests ... very faith-filled and loving. Please continue to pray for a holy death for Fr. Jim and that those he leaves behind are comforted in their sorrow.
