Do you know what kind of aloe you have? Most come from places with seasonal rainy times - some from winter rain places, some from summer rain places. All like well draining soil, sun, and to get a bit dry between waterings. Some have surprisingly big root systems. Others, like a. vera, have almost none. My guess is that you've got some root rot going on. I've got a similar thing happening with one of my aloe broomii. It just wants its winter dry spell sooner than I thought it would. I'm going to repot it, same size pot, new dirt to make sure there's no rotting material to promote fungus growth (I use a soil mix with about 50% drainage material), trim off the brown inner leaves, give it more sun and less water.
Let us wish eacho other luck!

may God bless the WHOLE world!

Thanks, I will repot and hope for the best. I do have them outside but not in the sun. I bring them in for winter. Don't have a clue what kind they are. Didn't even know there were different kinds. Again....thanks
