I want the reminder to alert me when I have messages. I've set it to do so, but after reading the alerted messages, the alert continues. I've done all of these steps without success in clearing the alerts: cleared the cache, restarted the phone, deleted the message and my response., turned off the "Reminder" app ( in case it interfered with the alert), deleted all messages in case ghost messages existed. Anymore sugeestuons other than turning off the reminder alert altogether because doing that would defeat it's purpose,

All of my favorite contacts have their own tone custom made by me.
The generic tone is road runner beep beep.

Let's say I'm in a deep sleep and a favorite contact sends a message that I might not hear the first time. I'm bond to here one of the repeating alerts. It's happened with my old phone several times.

As was mentioned, you can set notifications to repeat.  You can set it for specific app notifications and for specific intervals from 3-15 minutes between.  Combined with setting specific message tones for specific apps, contacts, or chats that should cover your reminder issues - and you will know which notifications are more important than others.  settings/notifications/repeat notification alerts - turn it on, then tap the text to set which app notifications get repeated.  The alert will repeat until you dismiss or interact with the notification.
