I will never forget you. You were a holy man among those who were sinners. I know that if reincarnation exists you are a monk somewhere in a silent community, contemplating. I will miss your friendship forever.

Dear McMahon Family,
I was a student at Immaculate Conception in Cambridge when Father McMahon worked there. He truly was a wonderful priest and friend. I contacted him a few years back when I was in need of some advice concerning my son and his distructive bahavior and Father McMahon was more then willing to see me and I went to visit him in Framingham at the Assisted Living place he was living. It was so very nice of him to help me throught that most differcult time in my life. I have often thought of him and wished him well in my prayers. He really will be missed by all that knew him.

To Fr. McMahons Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Father spoke of you often and with the greatest affection. We were fortunate to have had him with us at the most special times of our lives. He officiated at our wedding 16 years ago (with great humor!), baptised our children Petey and Elizabeth, and returned for our Fathers funeral. We have many special memories of Father, most revolved around his wonderful sense of humor and his fondness for Peter's Italian Meatballs. Peter enjoyed helping out with maintenance issues at St. Mary's, and looked forward to his "meetings" with Father.
His warm, caring, generous spirit guides us to be better people. He has left a legacy of kindness and humanity with everyone that he encountered.
The pain and suffering are over Father, rest peacefully with the Lord.

Father McMahon was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He married us 10 years ago and made our day even more special. I carry a prayer that he gave me 9 years ago, it has not left me since the day he wrote it down. There are not enough kind words to describe him. He will be dearly missed and always in our hearts.

Theresa, Peggy, Peggy Sue and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like it's been a very long road since (Fr.) Eddie got sick. He's in a good place now; I just hope you all can be in a good place in your hearts in the near future (that the sorrow from your loss heals quickly).
Love you all.

Father McMahon was a much loved and respected priest at Immaculate Conception in North Cambridge. We were very fortunate to know him and experience his Irish wit. May he enjoy his eternal reward.

Fr. McMahon was pastor of St. Mary's when my family moved to Billerica. He was so kind and truly a good kind shepard to us at St. Mary's. His warm friendly smile and persona surely was the Holy Spirit in him. I'm sure he will be richly rewarded for all the souls he touched. A beautiful holy priest.

Dear Peggy and Teresa,
We are sorry for the loss of your brother, Ed. Knowing him for 30 years since Immaculate Conception was a pleasure.
He was a holy man and a great friend to our family. He was always there for us even in time of need. He visited Frank in the hospital at the time of his bypass.
Raffaella used to enjoy baking almond cookies for him which he always requested.
We know that God is taking good care of him. May he rest in peace.

I am very sorry for the loss of Father McMahon. I remember when he gave me First Communion. He also gave me a cross blessed by Pope John Paul II. He was a great man and I am again sorry for the loss of him.

Dear Peggy and Teresa,
We are very sorry for the loss of your brother, Ed. He was truly a positive person in our lives. He and Cathy met at Immaculate Conception in Cambridge in the late 70's. Cathy remembers when he asked her to help with the pancake breakfast, do readings and teach CCD. (Who could say 'no' to Father McMahon?) When he left Immaculate Conception, Cathy and her mother, Raffaella, sat in the front pew and cried as he said goodbye.
Cathy got in touch with him again when he was at Saint Mary's. A little later, Father McMahon kept a promise. He officiated at our wedding at Immaculate Conception. It was such a pleasure to have him celebrate with us at our wedding reception.
Our children, Victoria and Alexandra, could tell what a good person Father Ed was. He came to our house for Sunday brunch the day after Christmas. They asked if he would come back the next year and make it a tradition.
We were elated when Father Ed came to Victoria's First Communion at Saint Agnes. We have such fond memories of him being there as well as at the celebration.
Peggy and Teresa, he always spoke of celebrating Christmas and Easter with you so lovingly.
Last Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, Cathy brought baked goods to Father Ed from her and her mother. Father Ed was so upbeat and positive, he made Cathy and her mom so happy to do so.
We pray for Father Ed and his family.
We thank him for being there when times were not so nice. When Cathy's dad, Frank, had a bypass, Father Ed was so encouraging. He said prayers and made visits at Brigham and Women's He truly was a holy man. We are blessed to have had him in our lives.

To Father Ed's family. Father Ed and his mom were my dad's best customers at the Circle Pizza in the North End. We really cherished our friendship with him. Please accept my deepest condolences. I wish I would be able to pay my respects in person but unfortunately I am 6000 miles away. Father Ed will be in my prayers.

To Father McMahon's Family,
My sincere condolences to you all.
Father McMahon was the kindest most caring priest I've ever known. He helped myself and my three children during a very difficult time in our lives. His guidance will be with us always. Rest now your work is done Father.

I was so fortunate to have Fr. McMahon in my life. I am so grateful for all of his guidance and support while he was pastor at St. Mary's. I have missed his presence since he moved on. I know that he is in a better place. He has been preparing his whole life for this moment. God Bless.
