Wearing borrowed clothes, Mercedes Jones exits her Marmet residence, dejected after failing to find her wedding ring Tuesday afternoon in the ashes of what was once her home. Mercedes and her husband, K.D., who were married less than a month ago, were asleep when Mercedes smelled smoke. She and her husband made it out of the structure at 403 82nd Street with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Their dog, Padme, wasn’t so lucky and perished in the blaze.
