Again, thank yoU! 
Yes, that appears to be the correct diagnosis. I have been inundated with fungus and bug issues (especially leaf footed bugs!!) this year; honestly, I am exhausted. I found this website http://hort.uwex.edu/articles/... and it was very helpful. It seems that when I find information on certain problems it gets too technical for me to follow, but this was written well and was easy to understand; i.e. it gives me hope! Fortunately, when I found it, I dug up both plants and disposed of them in the garbage. I also removed some of the soil in an attempt to collect all of the sclerotia. I will go back out there today and remove more of the soil. 
I can't say thank you enough for the kindness and assistance that you have given me this summer. I have learned sooo much and look forward to being able to pay it forward someday myself.
I am hopeful and happy though, because any day in the garden is a good day!
