~~Vista Alexis Jackson was born in Racine, WI on June 23, 2001 to Wendell Jackson and Veia Crockett.
Vista attended William Horlick High School. She was so excited about starting her first year as a freshman. Vista enjoyed singing and watching movies. There was something about Vista that always drew little children to her. She loved her family and had dreams of becoming a professional singer after college.

In Loving of Vista Jackson. Just wanted to write a poem to comfort you doing this time of grief.
THE LOVE OF VISTA
Written by Melinda Smallwood
I know Vista meant much more to you than words can ever say. I can only imagine the pain and sorrow you might be feeling each day. When God called Vista home, He had a special mission in mind; to choose the best angel in His vineyard He could find. He chose Vista because her wings appeared to be well-developed and strong, for He knew her journey from Earth to Heaven would be very long. God called her home unexpectedly from His chosen few; to make the Land of Heaven more beautiful to view. It may seem as if her time on Earth was cut very short, but only God knows when it�۪s time for us to depart. She�۪s now resting in a Heavenly place; with a happy smile upon her face. Each time you look toward Heaven and see a shining star know that it is Vista loving you from afar. Even though she is gone it is not the end; for one day on the other side, you will see her again. She�۪s no longer here and you feel torn apart; but you will never be inseparable for she�۪s forever in your hearts. When sadness becomes unbearable and you�۪re dealing with despair; just fall down on your knees and go to God in prayer. He will bring you comfort and help to see you through; and even help you understand why He did what he had to do. It may seem hard to understand why God allowed you to encounter such a test. But, when God calls someone home, He only takes the best.
In Loving Memory of Vista Jackson

So sad that a beautiful 14 year old girl’s life is gone so soon, but she is with God now looking down on her loved ones. At least now she is in a place where there aren’t any damn guns!
Sympathy to her loved ones and family. My heart cries with you.
