Frechette Bradley certainly knows how to treat her family the right way. Her sisters said the same things that make her a great mom make her a great sister, grandma, friend and so much more. She is a model of consistency and compassion, and she is very much appreciated for everything.
“She’s unconditionally supportive,” sister Yondrese said. “She’s always there. She shows her son unconditional support and love. And wisdom.”
Frechette’s son Terry is the man and father he is today because he looked up to his mother and still does. She taught him everything he needed to know about parenting and about life in general, and she was just always there for him.
She is the same way as a grandmother too, as Terry knows he can call his mom up day or night and she will answer the call.
“She comes at a moment’s notice whenever you need her,” he said. “She always has the right words when things are tough. I love everything about her.”
There is nothing not to love about Frechette. She is so full of kindness, love and sacrifice. Her heart is always in the right place, and it certainly shows.
“She’s patient with them,” sister Pavielle said when asked what makes Frechette a wonderful grandmother. “She’s more patient with them than she was with us.”
Patience is the name of the game when it comes to motherhood and grandmotherhood, and that is certainly something that has always stood out about Frechette.
What has also stood out about her is she is very present in her family’s lives. Whether it’s the lives of her sisters, her son, her nieces and nephews, or her grandchildren, Frechette is constantly there.
“She’s dependable,” Yondrese said. “She’ll travel hundreds of miles just for a recital or a game. She’s firm and fair. She’s always trying to be present.”
Terry will tell you that comes naturally to his mother. The fact that she shows up is not because it is an obligation, but because it is a desire of hers. She started a family for a reason, and she wants to be the hands-on grandmother who is always there.
She also wants to be the friend and worker that makes a difference. Her impact is felt both at the salon and with others, as her personality is something that cannot be competed with.
“She has a presence,” Pavielle said. “She carries a very positive and sophisticated energy about herself.”
Frechette is always upbeat and positive, and she is always there. She might be bossy in a sense, but that helps make her a great leader people look up to.
She is one of one, and it is pretty simple to see why Frechette’s family all looks up to her.
“Ma, I love you. You’re the most amazing person on this earth. I love and appreciate you.” – Terry
