OK, I haven't been able to post Pictures before, but I'ma gonna try it.
I carefully peeled back the roof and used a shallow cut circular saw to expose the frame>
Next I removed all the rot I could get at and re-framed it with Pressure treated Wood that I ripped to 1" By 1.5" (I think)

Then I cut a new piece of plywood using the old piece as a guide and fit it over the new frame. I used liquid nails & Duct tape to seal the joint between the old and new plywood.

A few notes:
Everything under the roof was dry, so the leak had been fixed at some point, just not soon enough.
I used PC Rot Terminator on all the wood that I didn't replace. I chose not to replace some wall framing, which was probably rotted as well.
The whole reason I had to open this up is because the awning in the wind would cause the wall to flex. It is solid as a rock now!
