Who is Roberta and jimmy chance?

Roberta and James Chance were Willow’s adoptive parents. Although her parents were white, Willow describes herself as dark-skinned. Even with their differences, she says the three of them seemed to fit together. The Chances adopted Willow when she was just an infant and have cared for her her entire life. Although they’ve encouraged Willow’s highly intelligent mind, they’ve also seemed to drop hints that she should do more to fit in with other people. Roberta and James are killed in a car wreck when the truck in which they are driving is t-boned by a medical van. When the wreck happened, the couple had been driving to a doctor across town to have a tumor in Roberta’s breast removed.
