Before meeting her college romance Raymond, she originally dated a woman named Farrah. The relationship didn't work out, so she kept it a secret from Ray for decades long after marrying him. When she finally told him, Ray was shocked by the revelation but understood why such a secret should be kept private. She and him conceived Herman, their first of two sons, when they were 22 and 20, respectively... After four miscarriages. But, the fifth time was a charm; and their son, Herman, despite being born with mental retardation, went on to have two kids of his own with a woman he dated named Tara, though he himself has no recollection of how they met.
Samantha and Ray conceived David, the second and last of their two kids some several years later. He went on to become a famed and sought-after photographer.
