Three Washington women, best friends for nearly a century, celebrated reaching triple digits during a ceremony at Zion Baptist Church in northwest Washington - the church they have all regularly attended since childhood. Barnes, Butler, Underwood and Ruth Hammett met as children growing up in Southwest Washington, where Zion Baptist Church was originally located. "I prayed to Him every day and thank Him every day," Butler said. "All of my life I've known Ms Barnes," Underwood said. And it's really not every day that three childhood best friends hit the centenarian mark together.
