Trayvon's mom to Brown family: 'Honor your son'

Sybrina Fulton, mother of slain teen Trayvon Martin, spoke out to the Michael Brown family Monday in a letter published exclusively in Time magazine.

"I wish I had a word of automatic comfort but I don’t," the letter begins. "I wish I could say that it will be alright on a certain or specific day but I can’t. I wish that all of the pain that I have endured could possibly ease some of yours but it won’t. What I can do for you is what has been done for me: Pray for you then share my continuing journey as you begin yours."

Fulton advises that the Brown family surround themselves with "proven and trusted support" in the form of family, friends and faith.

"Honor your son and his life, not the circumstances of his alleged transgressions," she wrote.

The letter of support comes in the wake of the August 9 shooting of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown, who was killed in a confrontation with police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Wilson has not been charged as of yet; however, Ed McGee, spokesman for the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, says a grand jury could hear the evidence as early as Wednesday.

Witness accounts of what happened that night have conflicted with the version told by police, namely that the shooting occurred during a struggle for Wilson's gun. People purportedly at the scene have said Brown's arms were raised when he was shot.

Since the death, riots have overrun the suburb nightly as protesters fill the streets. Two people were killed and 31 arrested during Monday night's protests.

Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot and killed in February 2012 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. On July 13, 2013, a Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty in the death of Martin.
