Prayer Warriors Update
We at RTV6 have lost a dear friend today.
Don Foss, RTV6’s creative services photographer and a father of two, fought bravely against cancer. He and his wife, Susna, never once wavered in his faith during a difficult battle. Susan tells us he passed away peacefully overnight while sleeping.
Many of us here will be forever changed by witnessing Don and Susan’s strength and grace in the face of such an unexpected challenge. Their choice to share their story on television was brave and generous, and has touched countless people with information and inspiration. (Please see the original Prayer Warriors blog by scrolling below this entry to watch the video and read the many inspiring comments)
Thanks to all of you who have lifted up the Foss family with your beautiful and supportive messages. Todd and I and many of our co-workers have heavy hearts today, but we feel very lucky to have had the privilege of knowing a person as remarkably kind, upbeat and unblinkingly positive as Don.
He is now at peace, and his spirit and message will continue to touch and bless the rest of us.
We will miss you, Don. Thank you.

Godspeed Don- and lots of love and prayers for all of your family.

Donald Aaron Foss, 39, of Plainfield, IN, passed peacefully from this life and into God’s loving arms Friday, October 3, at home after a valiant battle against cancer. He was born October 9, 1968, in Belleville, IL, and grew up in Salem, IL, where he graduated from Salem High School in 1987 and met the love of his life, Susan Hill. He attended Vincennes University in Vincennes, Indiana, graduating in 1989, with an associate of science degree in broadcasting.
In 1989, he and Susan married in Mount Vernon, Illinois, and made their home in Columbus, Indiana, before moving to Indianapolis in 1993. For two decades, Don worked in the broadcasting industry. For the past seven years, Don made his work home as an editor and videographer with Channel WRTV6 in Indianapolis. In 2006, he won a Lower Great Lakes Emmy award for excellence in lighting a newscast. Don was a member of Celebration Puppeteers with Old Bethel United Methodist Church of Indianapolis, and a former board member of the Autism Advocates of Indiana, LLC. He loved biking, music, camera work, his family, and his Lord.

Thank you for the outpouring of support.
Sincerely Susan Foss and family
We will greatly miss Don, and we are honored to have known him. Thank you WRTV for this blog and for allowing us to share in this journey.
Susan, Megan, and Zach - our prayers will continue to be with you.
Love,
Joe, Jennifer, & Emily J.
Please continue to post blogs as I keep looking throughout the day as well as I know Don’s parents, sister and brother, Susan’s family and many of you look throughout the day for updates as well.
Thank you for everyone for your emails, calls, blogs, food, visits and support. We are so thankful to have family, friends, neighbors and co-workers like each of you pulling and praying for us during this time.
I think we are doing pretty well considering I know there will be some bumps in the journey ahead but we will focus on our faith. The kids have been pretty busy with friends and family the last couple days thanks to all who have pitched in with no notice to help in so many ways.
If you live close by you may notice the Illinois parking lot on the street yes all but 1 aunt lives in other states pretty much Illinois but we are a scattered extended family as most are these days.
We are so blessed for WRTV6 to have honored Don on the 7:20 pm newscast Friday night, thank you to each of you. WRTV6 guys will be the pall bearers as well, in no particular order, Kurt Swadener, Paul Montgomery, Ken Scheidler, Steve Brenneman, Todd Wallace, Seth Keever. There were so many individuals to pick from for Pall Bearers we appreciate all the offers as well.
Thank you to each of you for helping to make this journey since 4/22/2008 that much easier for us, please keep our family and extended familie in your prayers in the coming hous, days and months. I know with time this too will be an easier journey. We have truly been blessed to have a “community” not just to raise our kids but literally to help our family through this journey and Don and I feel that each of you played a vital part in our journey - all the prayers were deeply felt and gave us a sense of peace and allowed Don to keep his faith strong that he would receive a miracle, and although he did not receive the miracle cure he received the miracle of God’s Kingdom.
I would like to thank each of you personally for your contribution.
Please pray for Jessica Carlson and her health.
Please pray for Kelsie and Kent and their health.
Please pray for peace and continued prayers for Megan, Susan, Don’s parents, sister, brother and families and all our extended families and friends.
This is a time of celebration of life for Don.
Sincerely,
Susan Foss
Thanks Steve for fixing my directions see attached.
Don looked very peaceful today. Thank you to everyone who attended and who plans to attend Monday to participate in the celebrtion of the life of Don Foss. Megan, Zach, myself and all of our families felt very honored to have such a great turnout.
Sterling Healthcare did a great job on the food for the visitation today, we had enough left over for supper tonight at the hotel the family and friends at the hotel gathered ordered pizza compliments of Brother Darrell and wife Flora and used the rest of the visitation goodies to help.
We were very blessed with all the angels which were delivered, the pictures, frames, stones, ornaments and much more, thank you also for the cards. I haven’t read the cards yet.
We had a celebration with the family and friends and talked and really had a good time. Thank you to each of you for your stories about Don and how he has touched each of you. Please feel free to email your stories to us so I can share these also with Don’s family and create a memory book for the kids of the special memorie you each have of Don. Or rather ask Aunt Nancy to see if she can help create a memory book of these memories. (LOL)
We really enjoyed talking to each and every person who attended, thank you for your patience in line. We have some young attendees that really needed some special attention to help them understand God’s plan and I know the line did take awhile so I truly appreciate your patience. There were at least 5 children who attended that have Autism and they also did a marvelous job of being patient, thank you for everyone’s help pitching in where we needed help.
The angels and everything just really created a beautiful atmosphere, peaceful mindset and wonderful celebration. Thanks for being tolerant of my quick turn around on the video it was a little basic and rough in spots.
Please feel free to ask to speak with Don’s parents, Brother, Sister etc Monday if you haven’t met them they would also love to hear your stories. Thanks to those of you who sought them out to share about their loved family member with them.
We all feel very blessed that so many of you took time to spend time with us today. Patty Reed would you please forward to all the AAI members as I don’t think I have them all on this list. I felt very blessed by all the people who came and I know our families were very pleased with the turnout and knowing how many people Don has touched.
Thank you to each of you who made sacrifices in time, travel, hotel, scheduling to be with us.
Sincerely,
Susan Foss
As a home care nurse I enter peoples lives and homes during very stressful and difficult times. I usually try to cause as little disruption or impact as possible. I feel I should not be the focus of any ones memories whether they return to their pre-illness life or are grieving the loss of a loved one.
There are occasions when one can walk into a situation and know that God has intentionally put them there. I’m not sure if it was Don and Susan or if it was myself that needed God to intervene. I hope they benefited as much as I did from the experience.
I felt a part of their family almost from the moment I walked into their home. I immediately felt the great love they shared with each other and with their family and faith community. They are both truly amazing people.
Susan is truly inspiring as a champion for the care Don received and protection of her children during this time.
Know that you will all be in my prayers always.
God’s peace be with you.
Myra Swintz “The nurse”
Don and I were friends back as far as grade school. And Susan, I loved being in high school band with you two. I am so sorry to hear about the loss this world has experienced. We need more Don Foss’ in this world. What a great guy. I wish we hadn’t lost touch in our adult years.
I will continue to pray for your family.
Warmest thoughts,
Brian Barton
Susan,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children during this time. I pray you find comfort in your memories of Don and know that he is now watching over your family and will always be with you.
Don’s service today was very touching. At the end of the service his friends with the Celebration Puppeteers performed a song, along with Susan and the kids, that seemed just perfect for the occasion, and had most of our eyes welling up if not flowing over.
It’s so hard to say goodbye to someone so young and full of life. But it was wonderful to know that while he was still with us, Don and his family got to see how much he was loved and appreciated.
To those of you who have taken time to write messages on this blog and continue to send your support, an enormous “thank you.” The Foss family and our RTV6 family truly appreciate all your thoughtful comments.
As Don’s brother, Darrell, mentioned at the service today, “Don likes your smiles.” I hope the Foss family will find many occasions to smile at the wonderful memories - as well as the new experiences that Don is still watching over.
Trish
Hello,
My van is loaded as I sit here watching Susan, Megan, and Zach get back to some normalcy. Zach is asking for homework help. Megan is lovingly sorting through the donated angels and writing down the Bible verses that are referenced on the angels.
As the lil’ sister, I’ve spent my life being protected and taught by Susan and Don. They have continued to teach through this experience. I’m so proud of the mission and witness for God that continues.
If you love Don, please learn about and hold tight to Jesus as your Saviour so you can one day see him again in in Heaven.
I want to thank each and every one of you that have bolstered Don, Susan, Megan, and Zach with your words, thoughts, gifts, and most of all prayers and smiles.
Remember to sing Happy Birthday to Don on Thursday. Although he will still be 39 forever, he will love to hear the joyful noise!
Thank You,
Melissa
Thank you for everyone who attended the visitation and celebration of life for Don Foss this week. I was truly amazed at the outpouring of love and support we have continued to have through this journey. The journey has had a lot of twists and turns and throughout it all we have felt your love, your prayers and support. Thank you WRTV6 for sharing Don’s story this is what Don wanted for his story to be shared about his faith and God provides. God may not answer our prayers the way we ask but he does listen to and answer prayers in his own way and in his own time.
May this start a time of healing and peace and acceptance for each and every one of us. May we still continue to pray and support each other as we have throughout this journey. May we each take time to make special memories every day instead of waiting for the big events of the year.
Thank you again for all your loving support of our family.
Sincerely,
Susan
For those of you struggling with not visiting at the end and for the rest of you as well.
Your memories of Don are better than he was the last couple months and honestly that is the way he would prefer you to remember him.
I kept people from visiting due to the extent of the disease and Don needing to keep his immune system up. Even two of his childhood friends that live here in Indy did not get to see him until Tuesday night when his only response was a part of a smile/smirk. There were literally so many more people who wanted to visit him but he just didn’t have the strength or the voice to visit. Please have no regrets if you were not able to visit since he was not able to work 8/6/2008. Don was spending time with his children, his family, my family, and every once in awhile we squeezed in a visit such as the puppet director one day she had the Mexico book for him, another day 5 puppeteers.
Don’s last Tuesday evening with us Susan called in some to visit here is who was able to be with us for this celebration of Don’s life and prayer circle. Todd Wallace (WRTV6 Prayer Warrior), Trisha Shepherd (WRTV6 Prayer Warrior), Mike and Keri Hawn (childhood church friend and school friend through High School and wife), Tim and Mel Brant (childhood church friend and school friend through High School and wife), Joe and Kris Royer (neighbor’s across the street helped with children, lots of mowing, prayers at hospital and more), Don’s brother Darrell and his wife Flora (who have stayed with us probably almost 4-6 weeks since 8/7), Susan’s Mom Gloria (who also has stayed with us probably 4-6 weeks since 8/7) and Susan, downstairs Sean and Jacob helped keep Megan and Zach busy with Rock Band and a movie. This was a special time of talking about memories, the journey we had been going through, tell Don about the good ole times, praying and having fellowship with fellow believers. Thank you to each of you, this is the night I feel that as Don’s breathing slowed down his spirit started it’s journey. I am at peace knowing his spirit started the release surrounded by Christians old and new friends and family all who loved Don. This is the image I want to keep of all of us standing around Don’s bed. I think of this image from the third person perspective out on the street looking in our double windows and knowing Don was surrounded by love. (Thank you Steve Meacham for sharing this what you saw with us that night while driving by, this is a memory I will treasure thanks to your viewpoint.)
Janet Musgrove and I sat and talked about the good times with Don, Trinity Lutheran, WRTV6, and Godby on Wednesday when she came for a visit. So at the end Don was having a Godby day since he usually did the Godby edits on Wednesdays with MaryAnn Cooper.
We all have to look forward and not at regrets, had everyone visited every time they wanted to, literally someone would have been in the house 24/7 keeping Don from resting.
I have no regrets with any of Don’s treatment.
I have no regrets knowing I was by his side when he needed me.
I have no regrets knowing we did get as many people to visit him as we could in the time we had and during his good times. Yes there were many more we would have liked to get to come but on the other hand Don didn’t want to feel people were coming to his visitation while he was still alive - you know Don he always had a different outlook on things, this made visits a very tight balancing act.
Please know that Don and I discussed many of you in depth over the 5 month journey and he loved working and missed his friends from Columbus, WB4, even WRTV6 when he was no longer at the station daily, he missed seeing his family more, he missed spending more time with his children, he missed riding the night ride and spending more time with friends, he missed a last visit with Blue and his coffee drinking friends, he missed going to a last puppet practice or show or Ifest. But he really enjoyed all the last times he did do those things with you, please keep the last memories you did have when he was joking around and teasing and making you laugh and focus on those not what was missed.
10/8/2008 Daily Update for those of you who have heard about our daily emails but haven’t seen them.
Thank you for all of your support during this journey with Don and our family. We appreciate all the emails, prayers, calls, gift cards, donations, gifts, food, cooking, cleaning, shopping, transporting, an ear on the other end of the phone, help, school help, homework help, watching Megan and Zach, church help, support, yard work, reorganizing he garage, and all the stuff that we did not see. It truly has taken a community to help our family through this journey and now we begin a new journey of grieving and healing from the loss of husband, father, son, brother, friend, co-worker, videographer, editor, neighbor, jokester, handyman, fellow bike rider, etc. For each of us this healing journey will take a unique path as we have all been touched by a unique individual Don Foss. I have provided a little information below on the Kubler Ross Grief Cycle and also an attachment about grief. I hope you take the time to read through these, since if you are reading this email you have probably been touched by this journey and will be touched by at least some grief.
We are doing okay one day at a time. Last night was our first night in the house without extra family and we did just fine. We had some quiet time together and just enjoyed each others company. Megan and Zach each have one of Don’s Heaven/Puppet pillows for their very own. They both are looking for tangible items of Dad’s to keep and we have discussed a few of those items as well. Both children went to school Tuesday and made it through the whole day.
Prayer Requests:
* Please pray for Don’s family his parents, sister, brother, in-laws, nieces and nephews.
* Please pray for Megan, Zach and myself and everyone who has been touched by Don.
* Please pray for Susan’s cousin Jessica she was doing better last I heard but has to be careful for the next month on rough play and concern for bruising.
* Prayers for Ian and recovery from his surgery.
* Prayers for Brian G.
* Pray for continued health for 8-year-old Katie, in Ottawa, Ontario, who is in remission from Leukemia. She is a little angel who has been through an awful lot, and is doing beautifully right now
* Others on the cancer journey Nick, Ray B., David, Holly S. Eddie S., Dr. N’s Father in Law
* Keri H. and Judy B’s family and especially brother for health.
For Information on the Grief Cycle go to:
http://changingminds.org/disciplines/change_management/kubler_ross/kubler_ross.htm
The initial state before the cycle is received is stable, at least in terms of the subsequent reaction on hearing the bad news. Compared with the ups and downs to come, even if there is some variation, this is indeed a stable state.
And then, into the calm of this relative paradise, a bombshell bursts…
Shock stage: Initial paralysis at hearing the bad news.
Denial stage: Trying to avoid the inevitable.
Anger stage: Frustrated outpouring of bottled-up emotion.
Bargaining stage: Seeking in vain for a way out.
Depression stage: Final realization of the inevitable.
Testing stage: Seeking realistic solutions.
Acceptance stage: Finally finding the way forward.
Happy Birthday Don!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!!
Todd and Trisha,
Prayers are there for Don from this Channel 6 fan. Godspeed to his wife and fam, very sorry to hear about there loss, the good news is he is probably in a much better place now.
Happy Birthday Don! I’m not sure which I’m more jealous of today…That you will be eternally 39 while the rest of us have to admit our REAL age or that you are having the best birthday party ever! You would have wanted us to be happy and celebrate today…so I’m doing it. I’m having Ice Cream for Lunch and taking a nice long walk with the dogs (sorry, I’m not a biker) in honor of you. Love ya, and will always miss you. You are the best substitue dad I had. Hugs and Kisses, XOXOXO Jenn
Happy Birthday Don! No, I’m not going to sing the puppet version of the song, but I know you are having a party!
Love,
Jennifer J.
Thank you for all the cards that keep coming in, the donations for the children’s fund, donations to the Puppet Group, angels and emails of encouragement. Thank you also for all of those who are sending cards and special items to Don’s family and my family as well, we all appreciate your support and thinking of us during this time.
Thank you for the special tribute on the Off the Cuff Our Friend Don Foss on http://www.TheIndyChannel.com. That has meant a lot to our family during this time of healing and to see Don laughing and cutting up after the funeral services was done started a piece of the healing for us. Thank you our whole family and extended family as well as friends knows that was a true picture of the real Don cutting up all the time.
Yes today Don would have been 40, he will forever be 39. Thank you for the thoughtful emails, blogs, cards, voicemails, phone calls and support. Today I decided rather than spend the day home alone I would help celebrate Don’s last hurrah. The kids and I had already decided to make a special time of celebrating birthdays with the puppets tonight so I picked up some goodies and delivered those to Old Bethel for tonight. I made Megan and Zach special Chocolate Chip Muffins they can have for tonight as well. I believe we are going to do a balloon release at Puppets tonight in honor of Don. I can’t wait to take the Angel puppet donated by Paul Poteet and Tom Davis to show the Puppet group tonight.
I delivered lots and I mean LOTS of cookies to WRTV6 along with Don’s van keys for all the gang to celebrate Don’s birthday as well. Thanks Steve, Ken and Kurt for taking time to talk with me and help pass a little of the day with friends. I will be back to pack up some of Don’s things in a couple weeks. I dropped off a copy of the Video I had created for the visitation for the Pall Bearers if someone else had a burning desire for a copy please ask one of the guys there, let me know if they give you a hard time. Steve, my 2 year old niece and nephew put the VHS in and it jammed do you still have the Foss wins a fortune or do I need to tear apart the VHS player and try to salvage the original tape?
Today I also was fortunate enough to pick up and deliver some new Willow Tree Angels to the Oncology office (Yes Myra I went ahead and did it today) along with Cookies to celebrate Don’s birthday as well. Dr Bhatia’s office were very appreciative and very nice thanks for their continued support. I will eventually pack up the extra angels we received at the funeral (after the family gets to finish picking out theirs) but right now they are too precious to pack up to take there yet. We love the angels and the ability to give back to the other patients with Cancer, to help them have some of the hope and faith and comfort that we had during our journey with cancer. Thank you for helping with this mission.
My email is acting up a touch so I am not going to have prayer concerns on here today.
Enjoy the rest of the day and sing Happy Birthday to Don as he is probably listening and smiling and thinking where is his chocolate cookie or chocolate cupcake. He would be happy we are celebrating rather than being sad.
Susan, Megan & Zach~
Thanks for sharing Don’s birthday with us last night. The balloon release was amazing especially when we let them go in one of the infamous puppet “circles” and then ended up in the shape of a heart. That was definitely Don talking to us.
Heather
Thank you for the continued prayers, cards, blogs and emails we still check the website daily for updates.
The children and I have been talking on a regular basis, I have touched base with Don’s parents and siblings a few times this week as well. The children and I spent a quiet weekend with my sister and brother in law and their children in Northern Illinois this was nice. Unfortunately the sermon at their church this morning was on “The Bucket List” and living as if you are dying part of a 4 week series. This was pretty hard for both the children and myself but we were able to make it through the whole service.
We have picked several books on grief and grieving and Aunt Jan is correct Widow to Widow was an easy read with great information. Thanks Aunt Jan.
The favorite book we received from Heather and Jake for Zach is “Rainbow Catchers for Kids” it is a fill in journal type for children I highly recommend it for children who have lost a loved one.
Susan,
I confirmed it today - we have 6 tickets reserved for you for this Saturday’s Snow White performance. Just give your name at the podium as you enter the theatre and they’ll take care of you. I hope Megan and Zach and their cousins love it - enjoy, and see you after the show!
Hugs,
Trisha
Susan and Family,
Just found out about Don. I was out of town and have been busy. Marsha wanted me to tell Zach that she has been keeping for him in prayer. Marsha would love to see Zach sometime she really misses him. I know that you will get through this rough time. Always remember God is by your side always and forever. If God brings you to it, he will see you through it!
Here is a big hug sent to your whole family from our family, XXXXXXXXXX. Please email us anytime. I am a stay at home Mom know. We have a two year old son.
God’s blessings to you and always keep your faith strong.
Gig, Pam, Marsha, and John McClain
Thank you for the continued uplifting emails, cards, thoughts and prayers.
We are doing okay, one day at a time.
There are many new firsts some easier than others.
We are having a little bit of normal.
There are still people learning about Don almost on a daily basis.
Time to finish the nightly chores. Thanks again for your continued prayers.
I still have my phone alarm set at 12:35pm daily so I can pray for my family, I have been in the habit for a few months now and I really like have this conscious reminder to pray for my family. Something to think about, maybe you would like to pray for your family each day at a set time.
After much prayer and consideration the kids and I had decided to trade in both vehicles and get a used vehicle that is what our budget would allow not touching insurance money, here is what happened much to our delight:
Here is my email back to the dealership this morning:
Bob your emailing the internet pricing and working with me on that one phone call to get to the bottom of the features that would work best for our family and narrowing the field from two vehicles to the one that works best was extremely helpful. You were able to accomplish more in about 10 minutes on the phone that any other contact I have made in the last week. I have spent approximately 18-25 hours in the last week researching, visiting local dealerships in Plainfield, Avon, driving by all the Shadeland dealerships, internet shopping in Indiana and Illinois and on the manufacturers websites searching for vehicles. You did what I have been asking for the last week, give me a good bottom dollar quote, be reasonable with our trade ins (yes I had two trade ins) and lets finish the deal. I want to thank you for staying last night to help take care of this for me. I realize this was a long day for you and for my family and my neighbor Joe R. as well. Unfortunately we live approximately 45 minutes from your dealership so trying to coordinate getting both my vehicles to you for the trade ins took a little work. You were very kind and helpful through this process.
Both of Bob Burgher (Internet Sales) and Brett Rozzi (finance) treated me with professionalism and with respect even being a widowed female with two children who were sitting in your showing eating their snack, making multiple restroom trips and doing their homework for several hours while we waited for the second vehicle to be driven from Plainfield to 96th and Keystone by our neighbor after he made it home from work. Thank you, this was not easy to do for the kids and I with my husband passing away on 10/3/2008 from cancer.
http://www.ToddandTrisha.com Prayer Warriors and Prayer Warrior Update. My husband Don Foss worked for WRTV6 and I have around 90-100 people on my daily to weekly Foss Update list I send out. I will be sending out this message about how well I was treated by Penske Honda to my full email list. If anyone on my email list is in the market for a Honda please visit Penske Honda. Please request Internet Sales Bob Burgher. They also have a black book way to check the value of your trade in complete this, print it and take it in with you. Ask for Bob specifically if you decide to purhase a vehicle here and please let him know that Susan Foss sent you (there is a referral bonus in it for me, if you are getting a Honda anyway why not).

Thanks for all the comments we do appreciate your support. Paula good luck in Afganistan we will keep you in our prayers also thanks for the card your Mom sent we did receive it.
Yes Don is in a better place. The children and I are doing welll considering.
We spent some time tonight talking about the kids favorite memories and things they want to do.
I talked with the kids about Thanksgiving weekend Don’s family and my family are coming we are all spending a night downtown for the Circle of Lights. Megan and Zach were happy to hear they would see the Foss side of the family in the future. They are excited about Halloween coming up soon. Zach will be Elvis and Megan Draculaqueen.
We had help this weekend form Mike H., Mel B, and Aunt Nancy to help Susan with organizing the garage, the van is now in the garage and we are starting to get the garage more organized.
Here is a little Don humor from WRTV6 Off the Cuff with Paul Poteet and Tom Davis. Thanks guys for giving us a remembrance of Don’s off the wall humor. This brought our family some laughter the day after the funeral when most of us watched it. For others that didn’t know this side of Don or hadn’t been around him lately enjoy.
