All, After talking with several Apple tech support people, both at an Apple Store and through Apple Care, I think I have finally solved my issue. I talked with a tech support representative last night who said that in the current setup, one is unable to have both Apple Music and iTunes Match turned on at the same time. Apparently it is either one or the other. Once I turned Apple Music off from settings and then synced my phone, I was able to see all of my music once again. I don't know why this is just now happening to me, since I have somehow managed to make both services work up until now, perhaps it was something on Apple's end which allowed them to coexist. Whatever the case, the tech support person said that this was a known issue and there were other people who experienced the same sort of issue of their music disappearing from their devices after Apple Music started.
With that in mind, I am going to look into keeping my music on my phone and keeping Apple Music. I do have a few albums which are not on Apple Music, but by and large, I can likely find a majority of the songs and albums from my collection on Apple Music. Given that I can add songs through Apple Music to My Music and add them to playlists, that should work for me. Plus, I'm not thrilled about turning Apple Music off in order to see my own songs. Thanks to everyone that offered help with this issue. Hopefully my experience will help someone else at some point.
