Hi Grace,
I can't figure out wha the problem is. Maybe Anthracnose ?
It also looks like it could be the result of some bug sucking on the leaves ....

I think it's something fungal but I sure can't identify it. I think you ned an arborist because it looks quite bad. I'm sorry I can't be of more help,

I think I may have figured it out, botrytis blight;

I know I have seen leaves like this before.
Do you think this might fit ? The weather has been very conducive for it.
